Warning Tip for Dangerous Websites!!!!!!!!
#31
I can't believe I did it but I got one of those stupid popups and before I even thought about it, I clicked the stupid thing. About 2 seconds later (literally) I realized and closed it out via the task manager. I'm running scans with AVG, malwarebytes and superantispyware right now so if none of those catch anything, I guess I don't have it. I had no problems going to the websites for the scanners, installing, opening, etc. Maybe I caught it in time. I can't believe I did that-it's actually the first time I've seen a popup like that I think. And I just had this computer's hard drive replaced and spent the last two weeks restoring my backup (which isn't done yet). argh.

I think I got it in time. After it happened I downloaded and installed those programs I mentioned (except AVG-I already had that) and I read that if you get this virus you can't even get to those websites, much less download, install and update the programs. They didn't find anything but tracking cookies and a couple of false positives I already knew about (which I went ahead and deleted just in case) so I think I got it. I rebooted and can go to any website without any trouble. Keeping my fingers crossed (and my eyes open for the next attack).
